Theories of the Atonement by Thomas Hywel Hughes

Thomas Hywel Hughes was Principal of the Scottish Congregational College in Edinburgh. His book on the theories of the atonement is particularly helpful because he not only provides the most extensive list of theories atonement that I have come across, but also gives examples of the theologians who expounded them. This public domain title was digitised from the copy held in Spurgeon’s College library.
